Classes

Well, I apologize, it’s been a little while since I’ve written last, I’m teaching Bible from 7th through 11th grades, sociology for 10th grade, and philosophy for 11th grade. I just got all my curriculum for the year, the librarian just handed me a sociology book that looks like its about 20 to 30 years old and then a smaller philosophy book written by Norman Geisler and Paul Feinburg. The Philosophy book looks like a decent book, but I have to plan everything on my own and write my own tests and stuff, which is not going to be easy (not that I expected it to be). I just got my curriculum for Bible today. For 7th and 8th grade I have a really basic curriculum that talks about basic Christianity, but she said I could pick and choose whatever I wanted to teach out of there. And for 9th and 10th grade I’m gonna be teaching on the book of Proverbs, which should be very cool, and for some reason the only commentary I brought was on the book of Proverbs by Derek Kidner (recommended by Tim Keller). For 11th grade, I’m teaching a class called “Understanding the Times” a basic apologetics and worldviews class. There is also other issues in there though from a Christian point of view (pornography, and homosexuality), everything in there is meant to develop Christian leaders, but there is no Biblical exposition at all which is a bit frustrating, there's a lot of prooftexting.

Anyways, I’m getting to meet a lot of the Honduran teachers, which is pretty cool. I talked to one guy today who went to a seminary in Honduras and was talking about how he was reading Berkhof and Francis Schaffer, he was talking to me about how he wanted to go to dallas theological seminary, and I was talking to him about Moody as well. We had a really good talk. Learning to cook has been a fun but challenging experience as well. And I’m gonna try to help with coaching the soccer team, so pray for me, that God would prepare me well for becoming a teaching that makes much of Him!
